Dumped For A Younger Woman | Bridget Jones's Diary (2001) | Big Screen Laughs

We've had very good response to the Teddy Knows Best teaser campaign and had various local radio bids for it, which is good, but it's... I feel terrible. The thing is, with Lara and me, well, you know... No, you'll have to fill me in. Well, the truth is, the truth is we're the same bridge, you and me. You know, we're two people of a certain age looking for the moment to commit and finding it really hard. And I just think that in the end, it's got to be something extraordinary, something which makes us go that extra mile. And I think, Lara, I don't know, being American or something to do with confidence and being so, well, young, you know... Well, we've become very close. Well, you've only just met her. She flew in yesterday. So, Bridget, you haven't ever just met her? No. No, I got to know her pretty well when we were in the New York office together. Oh. Oh, ****. There's no easy way to say this, but I wanted you to be the first to know that we're engaged. At times like this, continuing with one's life seems impossible, and eating the entire contents of one's fridge seems inevitable. I have two choices, to give up and accept the permanent state of spinsterhood and eventually eating by our stations, or not. And this time I choose not. I will not be defeated by a bad man and an American stick insect. Instead, I choose vodka and Chaka Khan. Why do you want to be in television? Well, I've realised that I've become deeply committed to communicating to the public the up-to-the-moment and in-depth news, both political and ecological. What do you think of the El Nino phenomenon? Um, it's flip. I think basically Latin music is on its way out. So why do you want to work in television? Because I'm passionately committed to communicating with children. They are the future. Do you have any children of your own? Oh, Christ, no. Yuck. So, why do you want to work in television? I've got to leave my current job because I've shagged my boss. Fair enough. Start on Monday. We'll see how we go. Oh, and incidentally, at Sit Up Britain, no one ever gets sacked for shagging the boss. That's a matter of principle.
